when you are ready for intelligent politics

I will directly deal with the example in the text to prove the headline and also want to add that this is a phenomenon I encounter from most people claiming to be scientific.

A claim by a so called scientific person is quoted in the article and it goes like this:

“I have strep throat, but I have faith that this penicillin will clear it up.”

Even though the statement it is not traditionally religious I claim this is exactly the same behavior as in the other statements by the obviously blind religious in the article. The statement is intense. It is confident. It is a belief that is not based on deeper understanding of the bacteria nor of the immune system nor of the mind and the body and it does not seek more and complete long-term evidence.

The scientific faith of the person above is indeed based on authority and pharmaceutical scripture to support the scientific claims, and most of the world’s scientific believers would reject any other claim without further investigation just because it is an accepted truth and an accepted treatment.

To state it bluntly, such scientific faith involves pretending to know things you actually know you don’t know and at the same time actually ignoring things you actually do know. if you do not believe me then do investigate it or just think about it deeply in introspection/meditation to get another point of view.

Do not go by revelation;
Do not go by tradition;
Do not go by hearsay;
Do not go on the authority of sacred texts;
Do not go on the grounds of pure logic;
Do not go by a view that seems rational;
Do not go by reflecting on mere appearances;
Do not go along with a considered view because you agree with it;
Do not go along on the grounds that the person is competent;
Do not go along because “the recluse is our teacher.”
Kalamas, when you yourselves know: These things are unwholesome, these things are blameworthy; these things are censured by the wise; and when undertaken and observed, these things lead to harm and ill, abandon them…
Kalamas, when you know for yourselves: These are wholesome; these things are not blameworthy; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness, having undertaken them, abide in them.

Because we all know that there are things known by science such as the placebo effect which means faith in our body and our mind or even magic or religious objects actually can activate our body power and help healing faster without any active substances.

At the same time there are facts showing big risks using antibiotics, risks of very dangerous fungi infections and not surprisingly correlation between cancer and antibiotics, even if these scientific reports are normally suddenly changed by the ones who made them. I wonder why? Meditation will give you the answer. I am sure.

Anyway. So most scientists who would investigate things deeper, like real scientists actually should, would at least suspect that eating antibiotics may cause other illnesses. Furthermore. To be healthy and prevent illness it might be good to live healthy and eat healthy.

Some scientists actually do exactly that and give advice on what to eat too. Yes. We know pretty much what to eat and drink to prevent illness. Some of these real scientists actually become independent scientists deciding to give correct advice and give as complete information as they can and include their own speculations. Some of them use alternative methods on themselves too because they feel they work for them and they also see benefits on their friends too. These are the scientists that deserves to call themselves scientists in my opinion.

Now. I do want to add there is a new “new age” industry too with its own blind belief out there. This is actually also an industry. So in the end nobody saves us but ourselves. We are the ones who have to be our own critical scientists with the risk of getting worse or, if we chose wisely, become better.

Finally. Do not feel responsible for people who are determined to ruin their own lives! Just begin to keep your eyes on yourself! Be skeptical, but always positive and constructive! That will hopefully give you a long and happy life that can spread joy and love to all other beings too.

To remain intelligent and positive, comments are inspected before publication. Please share this text with your friends:

“And he gave it for his opinion that whoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together.” (Jonathon Swift, Gulliver’s Travels, 1726)

But in my opinion Swift was a little bit too swift in his conclusions.

If he had fully an deeply understood the exponential function (growth) his conclusion might have been far more enlightened. Because dobling of the population through dobling of harvest will just lead to the same challange all over again. You do not exactly have to be a mathematical genious to understand this, however you must be awake and not too swift, not fleetingly pass the truth by, but deeply understand it.

When you deeply understand the logical conclusion, then it is evident that any leader who enables down-growth of the population would do more essential service to their country and the whole world than the whole race of todays growth-promoting politicians and any agricultural scientists put together.

Furthermore the logical conclusion must be that any politician who protects his country’s land from mass-immigration and over-population has not only made his own country a great service, but also will enable his own country to help other countries when they begin to deal with their own down-growth of population, absolutely not by feeding the starving in a short term aimless way like some do today, but by beeing a good example and an inspiration for the suffering nations who must wake up and change their own cultures into mindful ones.

In my opinion “food for sterilisation” is a humane way and also humane in long term perspective compared to suffering slow death through famine or mutilation through war. Even swift execution by guillotine in a millisecond and cannibalism seems less inhumane than famine to me. Maybe it is not politically correct to compare suffering like this, but it is however a really honest reflection worth considering, in my opinion.

So what does religious people have to say about this?

Well, I found something very interesting in a paper with the same name, “The coming Famine” from the Unity In Christ.

I quote:

“That kingdom, when established, will permanently solve the world’s food
verses population problem, and not by limiting world populations, which
will virtually explode in that age to come. … Maybe God can show us through his Son how to do it right, when he returns to earth.”

They, who seem to believe that unity is not a binary word but can be attached to Christ, basically keep encouraging over-population and hoping that God will come to this earth and solve the problem for them. Hm… Hm…. Maybe I can help them? Sometimes I believe there is something higher speaking through me.

Ok. I pray to God that we find a good way! Thankfulness in advance that I will see the opportunities when they arise!

Aha! Suddenly God spoke to me! Thankfulness! God told me that we should arrange challanges for people who want to have many babies, so that they may compete against each other in a way so that one baby will result in the weak meeting with God. In this way God would like to keep humans in balanced numbers and perfect us according to natures principals.

Hm… maybe it is not the answer you might like to hear, or were expecting, but it does however enable everybody to do their thing until God arrives, avoiding abortion, since a competition like this is not considered as bad as abortion because the involved has a choice and a possibility to win with God’s help if they are not ready to meet him.

I believe many who dislike abortion will like this solution much better. Haleluleja!

The win for a skilled person wanting one more baby will occur by the death of two others. If for example two couples want one more child then two adult persons has to “meet God”.

It can be completley bloodless, relativley swift, humane and according to the principals of nature if for example the rules of Jujitsu are applied and if the technique of choke-out is used.

Wich person that is the chosen one to “meet God” is thus determined by god himself in every moment.

People who are against violence might want to choose alternative methods where other challanges, like for example chess, will determine the outcome, where for example sedation and injections are used to make the weak “meet with God”.

My name is of little importance because I am one of you. My intention with this text is to unify all living beings on this planet we call earth. Do consider with a clear mind what I write! Agree or disagree!

We are all one in oneness. Please do worship intelligent people and do feel respect to their words and please be tolerant to the ones that have other beliefs!

Use ceremonies very sparingly with logic and respect to other beliefs! Be respectful for the ones that like silence and sleep! Be respectful in architecture and clothes to the culture you are in! Do quote and discuss! Think for yourselves!

Put yourself on the same level as everyone else because we are all one! Put it into perspective of the time I was living in and let your own mind and consciousness guide you!

If you adopt this text into your life you might want to say that you feel unified with all other people and all living beings. You might answer to any question of your religion that you are unified. You might answer to any question of race that you are human. You might answer to any question of country that you are a citizen of the world federation. You decide.

When we are unified as one planet living in harmony and balance, then any other intelligent beings will be able to trust us for further unification and exchange of knowledge.

The Beginning

We know nothing about the beginning but we can believe different things.
We can believe it was created in seven days or millions of years. We may also believe in an eternal circle of beginnings and ends.

The Prophecies

All beliefs reflect the beauty of good and are very similar in many ways.
They all have followers who believe in them.

We can believe that the world will end a certain day, that things will happen according to a certain prophet or believe that the influence from often read prophecies sometimes can come true just because we believe in them and that we therefore tend to act so that they come true.

Some think that the future can be seen in glass balls and some believe old scriptures contain the answer. Some believe it is destiny and some believe we can change the future. What ever we believe we can only act in the present moment. To do good and do right and feel good can only be done in the present moment.

The Prophets

The people who wrote good things, whatever we call the state they were in were important. We may say they were filled with God, were the son of God, wrote good, were enlightened, had a good feeling or were very clever. Good people want to follow their example and also live as they preach.

People filled with goodness, peace and understanding in what they wrote are all very important and good for us. They can all inspire us to do and feel good because they said so many good things for us to consider. That is why we keep them in our hearts and minds and consider what they wrote or said.

To fully understand we should always put the prophets in perspective of the time they lived in and what was happening in their environment to fully be able to understand why they said the things they said and why it was especially good at the time they lived.

It is also good to go to the source itself so that all the beauty and detail of what they said can be as accurate as possible and be considered by you directly. Also consider that people sometimes remember things differently and the true wisdom must be found within yourself.

The creation

That everything exists around us is something to be amazed of and we should all try to enjoy this creation together.

We can all believe different things, either with a holy scripture as evidence or with some other evidence. Whatever we believe, how it was created or became can just be imagined.

The amazing creation with all the beauty is there for all of us to marvel about and enjoy. Put all stories of creation in perspective and understand that they all strive to describe a thing that we can be amazed by and enjoy in the present moment.

All stories of creation seems to have a good purpose. We are curious being and seek to understand. See this kind of understanding as a nice spice in life.

Any story of creation can be interesting regardless to evidence.

The present moment

In the present moment you can act. Try to be mindful in the present moment! If you want to change the past you’d better start in the present moment because it will instantly become the past. Just accept it!

The future can be imagined but is unknown. You can only affect things in the present moment. Actions in the present moment will have an effect on the past in the future and of the future itself naturally. This is true also if you believe in destiny.

If you broke a promise to yourself, then forgive yourself and plan on how to act better the next time. If you are very present in the moment you will succeed with what you really want.

Your time lies in every moment in your life. You decide in every moment how the sum of your life will be.

If you believe in eternity, in rebirth or that your life ends when your life ends it will surely happen in the present moment. The result of your actions will have consequences and you or other beings will experience them.

Love

Love. The invisible thing that naturally binds us together as couples and groups and also as living beings. Love seems to be without boundaries. The more we love the more we smile. Love is unselfish. It is given for free and given in abundance. Love comes naturally when we are relaxed and full of confidence. Love radiates positive feelings and feels good inside when given and when received. Give it to all beings and feel the joy of pure love. Give it to people who still has to learn how to love. They need it the most. Take time with them, listen to them and then they will listen to you. Love always wins.

Passion

As living beings we sometimes have passions. This is natural. This is a way for us to enjoy, reproduce and to connect socially. Be passionate and enjoy! Enjoy passion with respect to yourself, others and your culture. Be tolerant, balanced, loving caring and stay healthy!

Peace

Peace comes with relaxation, confidence and mindfulness. To listen and fully understand your new friends. What they did and why. Responsibility for ones own actions and loving caring compensation will keep you happy and relaxed. Be a winner and make your new friends into winners too. Forgive when compensated.

Understanding

Understanding comes with activity in combination with relaxation. A relaxed mind is able to be enlightened, filled by good or god. To analyze your own thinking will make you into a person who understands yourself, others and every thing that surrounds us.

God

If god is good then godlike things can be done by all of us. God or good can be activated in all of us. Good things can be made by anyone regardless of belief. A god is something that you worship. Regardless of belief, it is good that we worship the things we really want to worship.

So, if we are mindful with what we really want we will be more successful in worshiping what we really want to worship. So let us be honest with ourselves!

Look at yourself and what you spend time with! How does it feel? This is what you worship right now. In your present moment you can instantly decide to change this worship into a worship of the things that are really good. It is your decision. Do good and feel good!

The purpose of life

The purpose of life is to live it. If you enjoy life it is obvious. The will to live is usually strong with all living things. And the end of life seems to come to all of us eventually. If you can enjoy the present moment there is purpose in your life. You can focus on the good things in life in most situations. You can do good and feel good in most circumstances. Choose a good purpose in your life and feel good!

Men and women

Women and men have natural roles. Women and men individually should consider their roles. The roles of women and men are sometimes cultural or religious, but can also be very logic at the same time. In different times and different places we have decided to change our cultures. They will keep changing.

Not all individuals are the same and what is good for different individuals can differ. We should respect all the roles we as individuals choose and make sure that everyone can be happy.

Change of belief

We should respect when people choose to believe in something different, because a believable belief is of course the best guarantee that people follow their own belief. Some people change their belief very easy, others need evidence and some experience a strong influence from a large group that eventually changes their belief.

Some believe we must all believe the same thing to be able to be in harmony and some believe we can choose to believe differently and still live in harmony. If you ask yourself why you believe the things you believe you will realize that we believe differently simply because our lives were different.

Children

As a child you look at the older children and adults for good role models. You are searching for a role model to copy. You try different ways to handle life. Confidence and good feelings comes with relaxing. Sometimes a stable loving family makes you relaxed and sometimes you find it within yourself.

A god start in life can be very nice and keep you focused on learning and otherwise you will have a good potential of succeeding in becoming a happy loving person anyway if you have a positive attitude. Copy good role models and spend time with the people you like!

Teachers are sometimes good role models. You will recognize them by the relaxed feeling you get in their presence. They will make you feel good and they will be able to find things that you are interested in and that makes you enjoy your present moment. They will inspire you to do good things in life.

Health

Living in physical and mental health increases the chance of a good life. Having both is a bliss. Having mental health is naturally the most important for a good life. Your mind increases your joy by having a positive attitude.

Your mind can dream beautiful dreams and create beautiful fantasies. Sometimes people prefer the fantasy instead of reality. For them fantasy is sometimes reality and they live in bliss.

With a very strong and healthy mind you can affect your body and mind and heal many things. You can sometimes heal yourself, others and even heal a whole planet into a healthy life and attitude. A relaxed mind is more likely to be healthy and affect the world in a positive way.

Keeping our environment as natural and pure as possible will increase both physical and mental health.

Drugs

Drugs can seem beautiful for the untrained mind. The mind is however much more powerful than any kind of drug. When the mind lack the capacity we sometimes use drugs instead of feeling and being in the present moment.

Sometimes we want to prolong our lives with drugs. Real happiness and a long healthy life comes from acceptance and listening to our own feelings, our mind and our body. By seeing the beauty of things around us and by increasing happiness around us with natural methods we can live happy lives without drugs.

Using only natural ways of relaxation and mindfulness can dramatically increase your time on this beautiful planet, your happiness and your health.

Money is pieces of paper and metal. Money is based on trust between the people producing them and the people using them. Trust the trustworthy! If there is trust and peace the money keep its value. Remember that food is easier to eat than pieces of paper or metal. There will be times of little food and in these times money will loose its value. Be mindful in good times and prepare by storing food! Food kept in a good way always keeps its value.

Respect to living beings

If it feels right for you then let live and if so then be vegetarian or vegan. if you are naturally carnivore and it feels right for you then do end the life of the animals you want to eat yourself and do eat but treat them with respect and keep them as happy as you possibly can before they are eaten, because we are one with the animals too.

To take what is not given

If you feel you have to take what is not given make sure it is for a good unselfish purpose and that you share it in oneness with everybody and that you first of all take from the ones who took things that was not given to them and the ones who took without sharing in oneness.

The end

Everything seems to have an end. What is born seems to die. Even within a belief of rebirth it seems to be true and also if you believe in eternity there is death before resurrection and eternity.

If a human lived with certain principles and feelings and is very present in your life and you choose to remember this person you might want to say that this person is still alive in your heart and is therefore living in eternity. You might want to believe that eternity might be your life time. You might want to believe in eternal eternity. Imagination about the end can be marveled about in the present moment.

This planet we live on was born and life will eventually come to an end. There are many ways we can imagine how this will happen. Even if we believe in eternity or in something else it will eventually happen to us or coming generations.

Maybe we believe there are life on other planets and that life is similar to our life. Maybe we believe that new solar systems are born and that life comes naturally in some of them.
